Chordae tendineae
Chordae tendineae are associated with the heart, specifically with the atrioventricular valves (tricuspid and mitral valves). They are fibrous cords that attach the valves to the papillary muscles in order to prevent the valves from inverting into the atria during ventricular contraction.
The chordae tendineae connect the AV valve and the papillary muscle. These structures work together to prevent backflow from the ventricle to the atrium.
